Maybe you should try to lessen your light bulbs intensity, and you try to fertilize your plants every two weeks because excessive fertilization will promote algae growth. Try to stop your lighting for 4 days and dont let any light get into your aquarium, fishes will survive for up to 2 weeks without food so dont worry, try to increase aeration because algae also takes in carbon dioxide which is also essential to plants, by increasing aeration, oxygen levels in the tank gets high and CO2 gets depleted, so less CO2 would be used by algae. Try adding flying fox, a very good algae eater
